Tom Morello: No Rage Against the Machine Album

"There are no plans for [a new Rage Against the Machine album]," Tom Morello told Billboard.com. "We've had a wonderful year and a half of playing shows, and I don't see any reason to not play more shows.

Of the project occupying his time, the Nightwatchman, Morello gushed, "It really encapsulates everything I want to do as an artist. I'm able to do everything I want as a musician under this tent."
